Varun Dhawan to handle ‘Dishoom’ promotion alone

His co-stars John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez are busy shooting for their own films until July

Actor Varun Dhawan will have to promote his upcoming film Dishoom alone until July as his co-stars John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez are busy shooting for their own films.“John is shooting for Force 2 and Jacqueline is shooting in Miami but she is coming back soon,” he actor said.

He was speaking during an appearance on reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa to launch the first song from the film, Sau Tarah Ke.

Dhawan said he was so excited about the film’s promotion that he wrote ‘Dishoom’ on his forearm.
“They are going to return in July but I could not [control] myself, that is why I have already done the ‘tattoo’. My connection is with the audience and I have come here for it. And I can officially announce that the promotion of Dishoom begins today,” he said.

Dhawan also performed on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. He said he was a big fan of the musicians that are mentors on the show — singers Pritam and Mika, and composer duo Sajid-Wajid. Dhawan said he even has favourite contestants.

Dhawan’s Force 2, also starring Sonakshi Sinha and directed by Abhinay Deo, is set in China and Budapest. Fernandez is shooting with actor Sidharth Malhotra for director duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K’s film in Miami.

Talking about his Student of The Year co-star Alia Bhatt’s film Udta Punjab winning its legal battle against the censor board, Dhawan said: “It is a great thing that the verdict has been passed. I think it is great for the film industry. It’s our belief in the judiciary system, which has been upheld once again.”
Dishoom releases in the UAE on July 28.
